Don’t look at the man who looks like Kamen Rider Cross-Z on the surface. He is a man who only thinks about muscles and TTK, but is best at eating shit.
In fact, behind the scenes, he is a useless social creature who was a virgin at the age of 30 and became a magician to gain the ability to read minds. By the way, he also discovered that the ace senior in the company's sales department turned out to be a gay man and had a crush on him for seven years.
But it doesn’t matter. In the end, he will become a “open mouth and closed eyes man”
And some people are Kamen Rider Build on the surface, a physicist, and even a person who has not given in even if his final form is deflated for more than ten episodes. Due to the absolute power of the villain, there are some tragic and quite pure heroes.
Behind his back, he woke up one day and found that he had become a passerby in the BL comic world. Although he aspired to become the only "pure love party" that insists on BG in the BL world, when one after another "love flag" was inserted into his When he was on the body, the invincible genius form Build was not defeated by the Martian Basilisk, but lost to a somewhat handsome and gentle man...
There are also two such Kamen Riders - Kamen Rider Brave (" Kamen Rider Ex-aid") and Kamen Rider Saber ("Kamen Rider Saber"), the latter is the former's junior six years later - and on another set, their identities were completely reversed, and one became One is a cold-faced and handsome senior who is an ascetic, and the other is a "little sheep" who has just entered the workplace.
As for their daily work life, the two sword-wielding Kamen Riders will of course end up with all kinds of "fencing".
Seeing this, I think your reaction will be like this.
Stop, this is not a car going to kindergarten at all!
After all, even friends who have never watched Kamen Rider must have heard of this Japanese national IP more or less. In the perception of many people, they are lone fighters who have undergone transformation surgery and fight against evil organizations. They are the Dark Knights who appear on motorcycles in every episode accompanied by the "original Shotaro Ishihamori", and they are also introduced to children all over the world every year. The superhero who "sells dreams".
When I learned that the leading actors of Kamen Rider began to appear on the sets of BL dramas, I think any reader with normal views would feel indignant driven by the sense of justice inherited from "chivalry" - What about Kamen Rider? Have they all fallen to the point of "going to the sea to make movies" (乐) ?
We know that Kamen Rider is the best surviving among the three major tokusatsu - there are new works every year, Toei can also bear the production cost of about 50 episodes a year, especially in Tencent After was introduced to China together with New Creation, this series has also become very popular in China - for example, "Kamen Rider Revice", which was released this year, caused a wave of "defection to the enemy" because of the appearance of the female villain Akileira. "Tide", Miuki Sakura's magical transformation sound effect "What happened" have also become the material of many neta works.
Nowadays, many viewers will think that "Thursday" is a bit high and low, but no matter what, there is always a market for beautiful girl posts
For many Japanese actors, Kamen Rider is like a dragon gate. After all, most Japanese dramas are It is a 10-episode short story, and it is rare for an actor to gain continuous exposure on television for a year.
As long as he survives the arduous filming for more than a year, he will be able to usher in a bright future. After filming "Kamen Rider", he will then film morning dramas and Taihe dramas hone his acting skills to expand his influence, and then continue Dramas, stage plays, movies, and ultimately, like their predecessors such as Odagiri Jean, Takeru Sato, Masaki Sugata, reached the pinnacle of their acting careers.
In the past two years, whether in Japan or China, BL dramas/Dangai dramas have been winning in terms of traffic. Many new actors in both countries started their career in this drama.In the "Highest Instructions" at the beginning of this year, our Dangai dramas were completely stopped, but BL dramas in the Japanese market are thriving. Therefore, for the "Kamen Rider" who has taken off his armor and holster, starring in a BL drama is the process of reaching the peak of his life..
The protagonist of "Kamen Rider 01", "U-Baijin" Fumiya Takahashi starred in the BL drama "I'm Going to Love You". You see, even "Hidian Daishou" gave up on his dream.
plays the leading role in both "Kamen Rider KIva" and "Kamen Rider Build". He has 6 transformation belts. Takeda Kohei, who is fondly called "Kamen Rider Apex" by fans, was also confirmed some time ago. Starring in the TV series "Old Fashion Cake" adapted from the BL manga of the same name, the three protagonists of "Kamen Rider Build" have already "all joined the sea".
Japan’s PTA (Parents Association), which is known to beat the emperor and govern the folks, come and save them. If this continues, more children will choose to grow up to be Demon Slayer/PreCure.
In fact, during the broadcast of "Kamen Rider Saber", the starring Shuichiro Naito caused dissatisfaction among many Japanese parents because of photos of smoking in public and hitting pachinko, and even Toei almost changed the protagonist. And when he became the male protagonist of "Senior, This Is Not Love" and fell in love with another Kamen Rider (male), we didn't see the PTA being dispatched - Probably because parents have also fallen into the trap of fakeness. The face knight's appearance was chosen by .
This is also a very interesting point. "Kamen Rider" usually broadcasts the latest episode at 9 a.m. every Sunday, which is considered a morning show. At this time, the audience squatting in front of the TV will not only look forward to the hero. children, and many housewives who have nothing to do at home. In many interviews with the leading actors, they mentioned that the first people to recognize them when they return to their hometown after filming Kamen Rider are often some housewives.
If you look through the resumes of Kamen Rider protagonists in the past 10 years, you will find that Toei has already taken advantage of it. The protagonists often won awards from "JUNON SUPER BOY (Japanese national level beauty contest for young boys)" Choice among contestants - The Kamen Rider series is most indispensable for all kinds of handsome men and beauties, with both talent and beauty.
are all so good-looking, so it would be a waste not to film a BL drama.
As for the phenomenon that the BL theme has become popular and has good ratings on major rating websites, I am actually not fully aware of it, so before writing the article, I went to Zhihu Hupu Nunnery and many members of the public I went shopping online to see what netizens thought, and the result I got was a bit -
Some people say that homosexuality is an emerging subculture, and watching BL dramas can satisfy the modern people's curiosity .
Some people say, "BG is only for reproduction, BL is true love." This represents the subversion of the traditional love relationship between strong men and weak women, and is a sign of women's true awakening.
Of course, the market is ultimately determined by demand. Female viewers are the main body holding the "remote control" in the TV drama market. It is a very natural "film and television Darwin" phenomenon for companies to invest in BL dramas. To put it simply, straight men who don’t like BL are non-target users, so don’t come here to join in the fun. Next door, S1 and Mosquito Incense Company are the film and television companies that can poke our XP (laughs).
In my eyes, having watched Kamen Rider for almost 20 years, Bandai , the financial backer behind Toei, has had a more profound impact on this phenomenon - Kamen Rider has become a complete toy commercial .
I said before that Kamen Rider is the one with the best survival among the three major tokusatsu. The basis for judgment largely depends on the rising sales of Kamen Rider peripherals.In the new decade of Heisei, there have been three "Kamen Rider" films. We can see the knight's new form every 2-3 episodes, and each new form has a shorter and shorter "novice protection period" , is also providing new ideas for cutting leeks for Kamen Rider SHF, Bone Sculpture, FRS and other doll product lines and DX, CSM and other belt product lines.
While toys are selling more and more, the ratings of "Kamen Rider" have been cut in half again and again.
You will find that the ratings of Heisei Kamen Rider show a general trend of decline. In less than 20 years, the average ratings of the last "Tokyo" are only 1/3 of the first Heisei "Kūga" , there are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as the general environmental impact of the rise of online media and the decline of television media, and I think it is the overall decline in the quality of the series recognized among Kamen Rider fans.
However, there is actually not much causal connection between ratings and sales.
Just like since 2009, the sales of peripheral toys related to Kamen Rider have improved qualitatively - The biggest influencing factor is actually that Bandai adjusted the broadcast schedule of Kamen Rider that year .
In the early days, Heisei Knights began to be broadcast in January every year. By the end of the year, Christmas and New Year's Day, the reviews could be finalized. At that time, the reviews could also affect the audience's preference for toys, such as "Kuaga" with a good reputation ”, “Dragon Rider”, “555” and “Dian-O”, a certain gap can be seen in the toy sales of that year compared to other years.
Since 2009, "Emperor Rider", which had only 31 episodes, was completed in July of that year. The successor work "Kamen Rider W" began to air in September, and it was in the form of unit drama . By the beginning of 2010 Most viewers didn't even notice it, they just remembered that the fang ace form was so damn cool that they had to find a way to get it done.
Now it seems hard to say that this is not a good move by Bandai.
On the other hand, it can also be understood that in the new decade of Heisei, many Kamen Rider plots will be high and low - probably because in the early stage, they still have to rely on expansion and handsome leather cases to attract people. When the KPI reaches the standard, the screenwriter/director begins to " It’s ruined.”
When Bandai/Toei pay more attention to the actual benefits brought by toys, and use a more casual attitude to create those "knights" who are truly active on the screen, when plot and acting are no longer the criteria for measuring the excellence of a work. , for new actors, it is difficult to say that "Kamen Rider" is still the gateway to success.
Odagiri Joe, who filmed " Kamen Rider Kuuga ", walked on the red carpet of Cannes with "Bright Future" three years later, and Sato Takeru starred in "Kamen Rider Den-O" two years later. won the Best Supporting Actor at the 60th Japanese Drama Academy Awards, but the new generation of Kamen Riders are still "debuting" with other newcomers in late-night BL dramas.
As for Utsumi, the actor who contributed the "Hymn of Loyalty" meme in "Kamen Rider Build", Yuki Ochi had announced his retirement from the entertainment industry a year ago. The actor saw the message. He may be like most ordinary people and cannot leave any traces on the Internet.
At present, just like the superheroes in "Black Robe", Kamen Riders still sell the "dream" of becoming heroes to children - but this is all done by Bandai and Toei behind them. The image and deeds created.
Family members, let’s watch this year’s work of Super Sentai next door, “Bakutaro Sentai”. At least there is “Schrödinger’s Sensation” as the screenwriter.
